Default 2600mAh battery extension for X10

Since i can't get the battery to last long enough even with better roms and so on i am now looking on battery extensions. Battery bigger than 1500mAh that is the original one. Iv seen "mugen" has some 1800mAh but they are quite expensive and not that much of a difference only 20% increase.

But iv come across some 2600mAh battery extensions this gives an amazing 73,3% increase in power. The only problem i see is that they are bigger.

im looking at this one:

But have anyone used something like this? how is it getting your phone this fat? is it uncomftable? to heavy? how much thicker does it actually become? 0.5cm? 1cm?

Thanks for all the answers.

I use a 2600 battery. It makes the phone about the size of a Tytn 2, a small price to pay IMHO!

I woulndn't buy it. It doesn't have the same voltage as stock: 3.7v. So this battery actually will not last as the mAh suggest. looks cheappy choppy too and too much $$ in my opinion

HTC AT&T ONE X+.........
Hybrid of others!!

I have one and use one if I know I'm not going to be in my car (or near an outlet) for a long time. It's pretty bulky. I didn't think I'd mind the bulk, but it DOES make the phone ugly as hell.

With my regular battery, I can usually go from about 6am to 4pm before desperately needing a charge. With the 2600mah one, I can go until bedtime (about 10-11pm). Not a massive increase, but an important one.

Still, it's ugly as hell. I wish they tapered it in more near the camera area. So much unnecessary bulk at the top.

Ok. I have another idea il buy 1 more original battery and a battery docking for it. So when one is used up il just put in the other one, and set the other for charge. Should not be too big of a problem. I'm normally not out for more than 9 hours at a time. If I know I'm going out for more I could just bring the other battery with me.

got a bit cold on the idea of getting the phone ugly so i now went for 1 new battery and one docking station for the battery. So that i can always have a battery ready to use
